Helping farmland birds and wildlife are two of the key aims of the Campaign for the Farmed Environment.
Both are thriving at Hall Farm, Knettishall in the Brecks, where productive farming and looking after the environment go hand in hand.
It's an approach that has seen farmer James Bucher named the Eastern England regional winner of the Nature of Farming Award, and he has now been shortlisted as one of four national finalists.
James said: "It's quite simple: my farmland birds are like a miner's canaries. If they are okay then I am okay. I can't think of a better legacy to leave for my son."
